Republicans and Democrats say the administration is failing to share basic information with Congress about the intelligence, rationale and goals of its war on drug trafficking.

Members of Congress are growing concerned over a lack of information from the Trump administration about the intelligence and strategy underlying its strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean, six sources told NBC News.

Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill have left briefings about the strikes frustrated with the lack of information, said these people: five congressional sources and an additional source with knowledge of the matter. Some have asked for unedited video of the strikes, reflecting the kind of basic information they seek, but the administration has so far refused to provide it.

At a briefing a few weeks ago, Republican lawmakers were clearly upset with the answers they received, one of the congressional sources said.

    Republicans and Democrats…

    Don’t give me this bullshit. 2 Republicans supported this, opposed to all Democrats except 1.

      I never got the complaints about Manchin. He had morals and was left of everyone in the GOP ,and he was in a seat that pretty much could go any further to the left.

      Fetterman can eat a bag of ducks though. He’s literally just appealing to Republicans like he’s about to flip.

        You mean the corrupt coal baron who never met a fossil fuel project he didn’t love?

        He had morals

        Not really, unless you only count church morals and forget about the whole “bear false witness”, exploitation of the struggling poor, and stuff like that which Jizzy Chrizzy would be vehemently opposed to.

        was left of everyone in the GOP

        Nope. That’s a SUPER low bar, but he still managed to tunnel under it often throughout his long and disgusting career.

        and he was in a seat that pretty much could go any further to the left.

        No. West Virginia is majority in favor of Medicare for all, UBI and several other progressive policy positions that neither billionaire-owned party has championed.

        Fetterman can eat a bag of ducks though

        Quite a big one too, by the size of him. Maybe even a barrel of turduckens!

        He’s literally just appealing to Republicans like he’s about to flip.

        Yeah, he’s absolutely atrocious. Which is why the DNC propaganda machine is probably going to spend tens of millions defeating whomever primaries him from the left. Them and their owners allies AIPAC, who adore him for obvious reasons.
